Dpd's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, DPD reported greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 997,569,000 kg CO2e, a figure inherited from its parent company, DPD Dynamic Parcel Distribution GmbH & Co. KG. The emissions data does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories. However, the company has provided metrics indicating greenhouse gas emissions per parcel, which stood at about 0.756 kg CO2e in 2021 and 0.76 kg CO2e in 2020. DPD has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while DPD is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction. As a current subsidiary of GeoPost SA, DPD's climate commitments may be influenced by the broader sustainability goals of its parent organisation. However, specific initiatives or targets from these higher levels have not been detailed in the available data.
